advice from a tree.

the link goes to a facebook page, so i'm unsure of the actual source... but... i loved it too much not to share.

and i found this little beauty when i was searching. apparently, it is just a smidge of a whole poem!

Advice from a TreeBy Ilan ShamirDear Friend,Stand Tall and ProudSink your roots deeply into the EarthReflect the light of a greater sourceThink long termGo out on a limbRemember your place among all living beingsEmbrace with joy the changing seasonsFor each yields its own abundanceThe Energy and Birth of SpringThe Growth and Contentment of SummerThe Wisdom to let go of leaves in the FallThe Rest and Quiet Renewal of WinterFeel the wind and the sunAnd delight in their presenceLook up at the moon that shines down upon youAnd the mystery of the stars at night.Seek nourishment from the good things in lifeSimple pleasuresEarth, fresh air, lightBe content with your natural beautyDrink plenty of waterLet your limbs sway and dance in the breezesBe flexibleRemember your rootsEnjoy the view!
